MLB Instant Replay Review 501: Chris Conroy (09)

Instant Replay Review overturned HP Umpire Chris Conroy's safe call in the bottom of the 8th inning of the Royals-White Sox game. With one out and two on, White Sox batter Dayan Viciedo hit a 1-0 fastball from Royals pitcher Aaron Crow on a line drive to right fielder Nori Aoki, who threw to catcher Salvador Perez as White Sox baserunner R2 Adam Eaton slid into home plate. Upon Replay Review as the result of a challenge by Royals Manager Ned Yost, Conroy's ruling was reversed, the call was incorrect. At the time of the review, the Royals were leading, 6-1. The Royals ultimately won the contest, 9-1.
